Mongolia

Mongolia was established in 1206, under the leadership of Genghis Khan. He and his successors conquered almost all of Asia and European Russia. He sent armies to even central Europe and Southeast Asia! His grandson Kublai khan conquered China and established the Yuan dynasty from 1279 to 1368 AD. Their strength lessened quickly after Mongol dynasty in China was conquered in 1368. The Manchus, tribal group that conquered China in 1644 and formed Qing dynasty, brought Mongolia under Manchu control in 1691.

The outer Mongolia was a Chinese territory in 1691-1911. It was a self-leading state under Russian protection (1912-1919) and of course, Chinese providence. When the Manchu authority in china decreased power, Russia gave help to nationalist among the Mongol religious leaders and nobles. Mongols accepted Russians and got independent from Chinese rule in 1911 after rebelling.

The Russian revolution and civil war afforded Chinese military leaders a chance to establish the rule in Outer Mongolia again. Chinese troops were sent off to a destination there in 1919. Following Soviet military victories over Russian forces in 1920's and having the capital Urga in July 1921, Moscow became influence on Mongolia. Mongolian people's republic was announced publicly on November 25, 1924.

During World War II, the Soviet Union backed the way of Mongolian socialism in favor of new policy in economic gradualism because Japanese warned over the Mongolian-Manchurian border. The soviet Union redeclaired the influence in Mongolia. The Mongolian Government became stronger and established relations like North Korea and new communist governments in Eastern Europe. Mongolia became the member of UN in 1961.
